Found lost dog,okay to ask for picture to claim?
Hey everyone :)
Okay so here's the deal...
I have taken in a lost puppy.
I saw hime running around my daughters bus stop yesterday and he almost got hit 3 times. Some boys called him over then eventually made their way down to my sister-in-laws house (where I was) because they are friends with her daughters. They said this dog has been running around for a couple days and their parents wouldn't let them take it it. My sister-in-law thinks she saw it running around last week as well. At any rate, they asked would I take it.
Of course I did, because the poor thing obviously wasn't "street smart" and was going to wind up getting hit.
I know it's someone's pet... or at least used to be.
He is a black Scottish Terrier. He had a collar on, but no tags. The collar looked old. But for being a Scottish Terrier, he was still somewhat groomed. I mean, he face wasn't overgrown too bad. I brought him home, and gave him a bath. He was FILTHY!
I am going to make up flyers today and post them around the neighborhood and in local groomers etc.
I don't want to put too much info on the flyer, because I don't want just anyone to "claim" him who is just trying to get a free dog. I am willing to keep him.
My question is... is it unreasonable to ask for photos of the dog in order to be claimed?
I was going to put on the flyer:
FOUND
Black Scottish Terrier
Call to identify
When people start calling I was going to ask questions, like is the dog male or female (male), is his neutered (no), did he have a collar (yes), what color was the collar (green). But if he has been running around the neighborhood, observant people could know these answers.
I know I have tons of pictures of my dog, does everyone have pictures of their pets?
Is it unreasonable to ask for photos?:confused:
Thanks!
